Yes, adding a sun with IBL does not make sense with Lux. This is not about Reality.

If you have an HDR IBL map you don't need the sun, the illumination will come from the map.

If you don't have an HDR map then you can use a mesh light mapped small and positioned where it makes sense.
Hope this helps
